Hi, I just got a Philco 87 at the local thrift store and I'm going to start and restore it. It looks to be all original minus a few parts.(still has most globe style tubes). It's missing the three smaller knobs (tuning knob is there). Can they be found? About half the dial is worn. Anyone knows if it can be restored? Also the decretive work in the speaker opening, was that on all modle 87's? I saw on a philco site one had a tapestry print. Is that also correct? Any and all help would be appreciated. thanks, Richard

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
